Petition Make a it criminal offence for a dog to worry livestock, e.g mauling lambs

Dogs mauling lambs is becoming more frequent. Not only is the devastation they wreak an economic loss to the farmer but it is also a welfare issue because of the distress it causes to the ewes that lose the lambs. They should at least be afforded the same level of protection by law as wild animals
